How and where to use guide
Sparta Matt Satin Black Nickel Lever On Round Rose Handle
Typical applications
This handle is designed for internal door applications where a contemporary finish and reliable performance are required. The fire-tested rating to BS EN 1634-1 qualifies it for use on fire-rated internal doors in both residential and commercial properties, including care homes, offices, and multi-residential buildings. The 51mm rose diameter and 67mm overall projection suit standard UK door thicknesses and frame preparations.
- Internal doors in new build and refurbishment projects
- Fire-rated door sets requiring certified hardware
- Contemporary residential and commercial interiors
- Applications where a coordinated matt black nickel finish is specified
Installation and setup
The removable rose design simplifies installation on site. The round rose has a 51mm diameter with 10mm projection, allowing it to sit flush or slightly proud of the door face depending on frame preparation. The lever itself measures 144mm in length with a 20mm diameter, providing comfortable grip and operation. Ensure the door thickness and latch mechanism are compatible with the 67mm overall projection before fixing. The knurled handle surface provides tactile grip and helps prevent slipping during operation.
- Check door thickness and frame preparation before installation
- Remove the rose to access fixing points for easier mounting
- Ensure latch and spindle alignment before final tightening
- Verify fire-test certification documentation is retained for compliance records
Maintenance and care
The matt satin black nickel finish requires minimal maintenance but benefits from occasional light cleaning to preserve appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that may damage the finish. The knurled lever design naturally resists fingerprints compared to polished surfaces. Check fixings periodically, particularly in high-traffic areas, to ensure the handle remains secure and operates smoothly.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth or mild soap solution
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials
- Tighten fixings if handle becomes loose with use
- Inspect rose and lever connection annually in commercial settings
Limitations and on-site considerations
This handle is rated for internal use only and should not be exposed to external weather conditions. The fire-test certification applies specifically to the tested configuration; ensure installation follows the test specification to maintain compliance. The 67mm projection may require frame adjustment on non-standard door sets. Confirm compatibility with existing latch mechanisms before ordering, as spindle length and latch type must align with the handle's design.
- Internal doors only; not suitable for external exposure
- Fire rating applies to tested configuration only
- Verify spindle length and latch compatibility before installation
- Not suitable for doors with non-standard frame preparations
